    Fantastic and Fun Wedding Band!

    The Pressure Point band was wonderful. They were professional to work with, quick response time, and were very flexible when we had to reschedule our pandemic wedding. Many guests approached us saying "we've never been to a wedding where the dance floor is full the entire night!!" And we completely agree! The band was so fun, played music that kept everyone out there, and they helped DJ the entire event. They played music during cocktail hour, introduced our wedding party and my husband and I, set us up with a microphone for speeches, and DJ'd our first dance songs. They really gave us the party and wedding of our dreams! So many thanks and compliments to the Pressure Point Band!!

    Amazing Band

    Pressure Point played our October 12th wedding at Hotel Vintage and brought the house down! They had guests dancing on and off the dance floor ( around the tables) because their music was just too good. Plus they could intuit what song would work best and played a wide variety from Jazz to Rock. The best!!!

    The professionalism of this band was amazing! Hands down they are excellent!! I have never had such a diverse group of guests from age 15-92 compliment a band so much as yours. Everyone continues to rave about the band! From the guitar music at the ceremony to the trio at the cocktail gathering to the music at the wedding you guys nailed it! You absolutely made the day exceptional!

    Pressure Point Band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It was difficult to plan a wedding from another state but we were lucky to have a relative sit in on a preview of the band. They're very talented, have a wide range of classic and popular songs, can get the crowd on their feet, and a big hit for all ages!!

    Pressure Point performed at our big anniversary bash last summer. They were easy to work with, taking our playlist under consideration and expanding on it to include music that was similar. They were happy to perform music that was conducive to our cocktail hour with more emphasis on instrumentals and a little slower tempo at the beginning of the party. After dinner, they got the crowd going and guests stayed till the very end, crowding the dance floor for 3 hours straight. They were able to "read" the crowd--we had a wide age range attending-- and they kept the energy strong all evening. We paid them to stay for an extra set and no one was disappointed! The band was flexible during set-up because our space for them was a little odd, but they made it work and took initiative to make a few tweaks that needed to be done. We received compliments from many, many guests on the great band. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. They were on time, professional, easy to work with, and delivered a spectacular performance.

    I was at a birthday party when I first heard Pressure Point. I had so much fun that night dancing. So when I was looking for a band to play at my son's school fundraiser, I knew immediately who to call. Mike was pleasure to work with. Pressure Point was an instant hit at our fundraiser. Everyone loved the music and had a great time dancing. I would definitely book Pressure Point again!!! Thanks Mike for helping our night being so successful!!!

    We hired Pressure Point to play at our wedding. They were amazing! Our guests keep talking about how great the band was. Mike and his team are very responsive and easy to work with. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for a fun, talented, friendly band to entertain guests. You won't be disappointed

    Best Wedding Band!!! My (now) husband and I have been to previous events where Pressure Point played and instantly had to have them for our wedding (which was this past September). Michael was so easy to work with and really planned out the wedding music. They offer a huge range of songs from oldies to current hits. They even learned our first dance song - and killed it! All of our friends and family are still raving about how amazing the band was and how much fun it was to dance to a live band. Would HIGHLY recommend this band to anyone who is looking to have an unforgettable night!

    They played our wedding party and rocked it. Everyone was up and dancing the entire time.
    Over the top good. We would have them back for sure.

    We highly recommend this band! They were very easy to work with while planning a destination wedding, played our first dance song and special father/daughter song request, and our guests were all dancing the entire night. When on breaks they have a Dj/play modern hits which our friends loved too. We had the guitarist play for the ceremony which was very romantic/people loved and they played during cocktail hour which was great too. Our guests were a range of ages and everyone gave us the best feedback. Definitely a hit of our wedding!

    I can't say enough good things about this band. First of all, my husband and I decided they would be our wedding band before we were even engaged when we saw them play a friend's wedding and were completely blown away. Booking Pressure Point Band was the next thing we did after choosing our date and venue. Our guests have been raving ever since our wedding a month ago about the wonderful energy of the band. Pressure Point Band played a great range of jazz classics during dinner and then switched to more modern and upbeat songs for dancing afterward. They have a great set list that perfectly matched the mood of the dance party. I've never seen 200 people get so low than they did during Shout at the end of the wedding! In addition to the great music, the band was so accommodating to a few special requests, which made our wedding that much more special. Run, don't walk, to hire Pressure Point Band for your wedding! Your guests will thank you!

    A New Groove...awesome! They did a superb job at our wedding on 6/25/2016 at the Adrianna Hill Grand Ballroom in Portland Oregon. They did it all for us...two musicians performed at cocktail hour (sax & guitar), they performed intro music for bridal party, DJ'd the entire event, play the first dance, and rocked it out the rest of the night...everybody danced. They draw a fine line providing an awesome performance while still keeping the focus on us...the bride and groom. We had an awesome time at our own wedding reception and danced until midnight. Ending the night with some Night Ranger (requested), was perfect. Can't recommend these guys enough. Very flexible and have a large of range of what they cover. Male and Female lead vocals, 2 sax's, piano, 2 guitar, bass, drums...doesn't get better than that. And they DJ! Can't beat it.

    Also, they hooked us up with dance lessons. It was a lot of fun, a great break from the wedding planning and we got many compliments (probably because of her, not me).

    All of our guests gave incredible feedback. Again, can't recommend enough.

    Lynn and CM Events were fantastic to work with! Lynn was quick to respond to all of my emails and was extremely helpful through the planning process. They have a very large selection of music to choose from and if it is not on their list, they will make sure to get it for you. The day before our wedding, we decided to move our ceremony from indoors to outdoors and Lynn was quickly able to make arrangements to bring a second sound system. They kept the evening flowing very well and only made necessary announcements. They had the best rates of all the DJs I contacted and their services were superior! I would definitely recommend Lynn and CM Events!

    After spending time trying to find a DJ service that didn't break our budget (seriously $2000 to play someone else's recorded music??) we came across Lynn Winkle and Celebration Music. At our initial consultation, Lynn was warm and friendly and showed us a bunch of glowing thank you notes from previous couples. Once we learned that she is both a singer and a dancer (my husband is a singer and I am a dancer), we felt that this was the perfect fit for us!

    We loved the ability to create a playlist online of various songs we'd like to hear and Lynn did a good job of mixing those in with requests during the reception. She was a great DJ and emcee- there was nothing cheesy or obnoxious but just a very pleasant entertainment experience for our guests!

    As parents of the bride, hiring Pressure Point to perform at our reception was the best spent dollars for the event. There is nothing to compare with live music and the bands vocals and musicianship was spectacular. We would do it again!

    This review is for Mike, the band's agent and A New Groove, the wedding band. Just want to leave a short note of thanks to Mike, the agent, who made himself readily available for our questions. Mike went the extra mile and helped us to see A New Groove live at the Tigard Festival of Balloons, which made us very comfortable in signing the band. Many of our guests appreciated the classics from John Lennon's Let It Be to Journey's Anyway You Want It. The band's lead, Leisa, was very responsive to email and special requests for the band leading all the way up to the event date. On top of all this, they performed at a very reasonable rate. Based on our positive experience, we would not hesitate to recommend A New Groove and Celebration Music to others.

    Working with Mike and Pressure Point was a positive experience from start to finish.

    The most important component is obviously the music: these guys are incredible! We were the first of our friends to get married, and after the reception everyone said how they had to have a live band at their wedding because of how great our music was. To those of you wondering if their acoustics are as good outdoors as indoors, fear not, we had our wedding outdoors at a Winery and the sound still rocked!

    We opted to have not only the full band at our reception, but for a modest additional fee keyboard for the ceremony and classical guitar/flute for cocktail hour after the ceremony - both highly recommended.

    Mike was incredibly responsive to email - important for us as we were arranging the wedding from out of state. He was able to procur some wonderful lights for our outdoor dance floor on request, and also set up a great audio system for our ceremony, best man/maid of honor toasts, etc. When we accidentally left the final check at home in California, Mike was cool about us mailing it to him after the ceremony (much cooler than I would have been!).

    I guess the best way to sum up our experience is to repeat what our photographer wrote on her website: "They had the best live wedding band we have ever heard!"

    Thanks again to Mike and Pressure Point for making our Wedding such a special and memorable day!

    These guys ROCK! Pressure Point is an incredible band. We told them we were a lively bunch and we asked the band to play accordingly. They delivered! They even had Grandma and babies dancing until the final call. They can play nearly anything and do an amazing job blending one song into the next.

    We also had their guitarist do our ceremony and cocktail hour music and he was great! Highly recommend them.

    They are worth every penny and more!

    I'm so glad we found Celebration Music & Events! They assisted us so much from wedding DJ to ceremony string quartet to event lighting and even dance lessons! They are a one stop event planning vendor with top quality service! Definitely go to them and save you a lot of time and hassle!

    A New Groove is a band in Portland OR, and they ROCKED my wedding. Perfect music selection, high energy, incredible voices, and they were so easy to work with. They had everyone from the wedding party to our priest killing it on the dance floor for hours. And in between sets, they played an iPod, which went very smoothly. AND they are way more affordable than other bands. I think they are the best kept secret in Portland wedding bands. Can't recommend them highly enough. http://www.anewgroove.com/

    Lynn and CM Events was great. They provided us with our dinner music of an awesome trio - the Michael Winkle Trio and then Lynn took over as dj! She was fantastic! I was so happy we chose them. She felt out the crowd and the night just flowed! We had the best time dancing. Her transition choice of Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night by the Black Eyed Peas from the Hora was so on the money! We were so glad we hired them. They made our ceremony go smoothly with sound. The Michael Winkle Trio was perfect for the early part of our reception and I even wish I could have danced a little to them. It was a great night though!

    I CANNOT say enough good things about this band! They are so talented and entertaining - an not corney at all (like many other wedding singers we looked at). They took my wedding to a whole new level that I had never anticipated. They had everyone on the dance floor during the FIRST SONG! They ended-up staying for 2 hours longer than we hired them for because the dance floor was still packed at the end of the night. They even learned a new song for our wedding! They drove all the way up from Portland to Seattle at no extra charge and they were $2000 LESS than the Seattle wedding bands we looked at using! My husband & I both agree that hiring Pressue Point was the best-spent money of the whole wedding.

    Absolutely the BEST wedding band ever! Gave us much more than we paid for, were super fun & friendly, got everyone dancing right after the cake was cut! Very eager to please, even learned new songs for us, willing to do anything we wanted or needed very quickly. Was not great with recommendations prior to the wedding. Was almost half the price of other Seattle bands (drove to our Seattle wedding for free). The guests practically rioted when they stopped playing! (They had to play for an extra 2 hours!)
